but, this is what happens when you have a bad back and you have to take a shit and you are on the other side of the house. not how i wanted to start off my day. spent easily 30 minutes in the bathroom using the bidet. good times. and then i had to ice my back down a good hour before i could go grocery shopping. of course, i also had to take mail to the neighbors since whoever the fuck delivers our mail can't fucking see worth a shit. i'm not sure how 57 looks like 51 when there are two boxes of the same thing over at 57. i really laugh when 45 ends up here at 51. and the postal service wonders why they lose money. grocery shopping went well today, for the most part. i had to bag my own groceries at Kroger. so, i will definitely be icing my back down again tonight. even better, we might have some thunderstorms tonight. the feels like temperature was 100 all afternoon. that was a joy to be out driving in that.
the Yankees lost last night at the Nationals, 4-2. hopefully, the Yankees will win tonight.

the Yankees won again last night over Baltimore, 8-2. they go for the sweep this afternoon.
Saturday Night Live was good last night.
the horse i picked to win the Preakness finished second.

NXT was really good last night.
AEW was really good last night as well.
The Masked Dancer was good last night.
Name That Tune was good last night.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Buffalo. i'd love to see them actually play 60 minutes and win for a fucking change.
the mail was actually delivered this morning around 10 AM. i was shocked. then, i saw it was starting to snow and i realized why it was being worked so early. they are already so fucking far behind as it is.
f.y.i. if you happen to call me on my cell phone, please leave a fucking message. i'm blocking anyone who doesn't leave one as most of the damn calls i get are spam.
also, if you want my cell number, just ask.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i have been pretty busy today. i know when i don't eat lunch until 5 PM, it's been a long day.
i went to the post office to mail off the baseball cards i sold. that went pretty easy. after that, i had to go my mother's bank to make a deposit and get money out of her account. of course, since i'm not on her account, i couldn't do it the way she thought i could. thankfully, she gave me her ATM card, so i was able to get the money out that way. then, i had to drive 20 minutes in the other direction to go to my bank to make a deposit. after that, i went to Meijer to see if i could find some baseball cards and some other things mom needed. i did find some cards, more on that in a bit. i also got some hand soap that my mother loves and a paring knife. after that, i went to Kroger to get the stuff mom forgot to put on the grocery list. amazingly, i also found some toilet paper while i was there. there was none at Meijer earlier.
i got a hanger box of Topps Gallery 2020 and a hanger box of Bowman Platinum 2020 at Meijer. i got some really good cards in both, including another Luis Robert rookie card (Bowman Platinum). all in all, i think i probably made another good investment. then, this afternoon, i was on the Panini site looking at cards and found an Obi Toppin rookie card for $9.99. i jumped all over that. so yeah, i'm feeling pretty good about what i got done today.
NXT UK was really fucking good last night.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows. they are off until after Thanksgiving.
Young Sheldon was pretty good last night.
B Positive was hilarious last night.
The Unicorn was very funny last night.
Cari & Jemele (Won't) Stick to Sports was excellent last night.
Miz & Mrs was very good last night.
Total Bellas was good last night.
i did watch a good portion of the NFL game last night. Seattle defeated Arizona, 28-21.

so, i had this woman ask me last night for the password to my PayPal account. just flat out ask me like i am so fucking stupid that i would give it to her. add that to the list why i could simply do without humanity on most days.
NXT Takeover XXX was very good last night. i was a little disappointed with the title change in the main event, but i am reserving judgment to see what happens. if it means Keith Lee is going to Raw or Smackdown and he's going to be a monster there, i'm fine with it. and hats off to Pat McAfee and Adam Cole for the job they did last night.
AEW was really good last night as well.
Austin City Limits was the Run The Jewels episode from a few years back that i accidentally deleted awhile back.
here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of The Chi, We Hunt Together, Desus & Mero, Big Brother, Lovecraft Country, The Vow and Last Week Tonight. i'll be watching WWE SummerSlam for most of the evening on WWE Network.
i will watch at least some of the Champions League final today.
and i know the Indy 500 is today as well.
throw in some of the NHL and NBA playoffs and you have my typical busy fucking Sunday.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i believe mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. joy.

well, it looks like all the bad storms either went to the south of us or got bad after they went through us. we got some rain and wind, but nothing like they got in other places of the area. of course, it felt like it was nearly 100 degrees today, so i'm waiting for a pop up thunderstorm to hit at any minute. it was thundering when i woke up this morning. i didn't bother going back to sleep.
Copa America Update:
Chile defeated Columbia 2-0 in a rainy mess last night. so, the 3rd place game on Saturday will be Colombia vs. USA and the finals on Sunday will be Chile vs. Argentina. both matches should be really interesting.
Euro 2016 Update:
Hungary and Portugal played to a very entertaining 3-3 draw yesterday. Iceland got a goal at the death to stun Austria 2-1. Ireland had a massive upset of Italy 1-0 yesterday and Belgium defeated Sweden 1-0. so the final 16 are set. and there are some juicy matches in the next round. here is the bracket:
that right side of the bracket is fucking loaded, especially when Italy will play Spain and the winner is only in the quarterfinals. the knockout rounds should be very entertaining.
the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday and got a walk off homer from Starlin Castro to beat Colorado 9-8. that victory beer came out of nowhere. they are off tonight and start a series at home against the Twins tomorrow night.
Lucha Underground was really good last night. NXT also was very good.
Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons was interesting last night, mostly for how much Ben Affleck is up Tom Brady's ass.
Big Brother was pretty much what i thought it would be. some hot girls, some douchebag guys, 4 returners that i never liked to begin with and surprises that only make the show worse. but, i truly enjoy people getting on other people's nerves, and that is why the show is so good. i have no clue who is going home tonight. i know it's not who i was hoping for.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown, Lip Sync Battle and Big Brother.
i figure i will watch some of the NBA Draft tonight. i'm sure the Sacramento Kings will manage to fuck up their lottery pick somehow. i'd love if Dyshawn Pierre got drafted tonight, but that's not likely.
i wrote 5 poems between last night and this morning. i typed them up this afternoon. i really like all of them. i think i'm just going to stockpile for now and be prepared to flood the market after my 4 day journey to Cleveland.
i did catch up on some podcasts today. i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. it was excellent as usual.
that's all for me today kids. i hope this finds you relaxing in the some cool air conditioning. it's fucking hot as hell here right now. nothing like a feels like of 95.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
hard to believe that college football starts back up tonight. where did summer go? it's when the moments like these creep up on me that i wish i was a kid again. then, i remember getting molested as a kid and figure, well, maybe not. some pretty good games tonight. i guess tonight will be another case for the Elvis wall of televisions.
the Yankees finished their road trip last night having their asses handed to them, 7-2. by the 3rd inning the Blue Jays had their 7 runs so i didn't bother to watch much of the rest of the game. thankfully, they are off tonight.
The Bridge last night was spectacular. i didn't see the twist coming but once it was revealed, it certainly started to clear some things up about the show. i can't wait to see where it goes next. i get the feeling this will be one of those series i'll need to buy on DVD to figure everything out.
Big Brother tonight could be interesting. i believe the racist will be voted out tonight, though i wish she wasn't. the HOH has said that if she doesn't get voted out she's walking off the show, which i really wouldn't mind. sadly, i don't see it happening. but, i will actually get to watch it as there are no NFL games on locally tonight.
i ordered my sister's birthday gifts last night. hopefully amazon.com comes through before Sept. 8th. i think she'll be nicely surprised.
today has been one of those days. not as hot as the days before, but gloomy as fuck. now, the sun is trying to come through. i came home from the post office and found Kit Kat napping on the concrete. i just walked by and said i agree with ya, it's one of those days to sleep it away.
no mail for me by the way. that usually makes me feel like the trip into town was just a waste.
i think i may have some poems floating up in my head that need to get out soon. considering there are some college games on the west coast this evening... i might be writing around 2 in the morning or so. if it happens, i will hopefully have some good news after i type them up. getting that itch to submit some places again. it's always a little tricky when you're playing the waiting game with a few places and hopefully catching other publishers at just the right time. thankfully i've been at this for almost 20 years now.
that's all for me today. until we meet again...

i heard back from 5AM on my poetry submission from back in August. lets just say i'll really have some fun pointing out where these rejected poems get published.
always fun to get a rejection notice on a Friday. let the drinking begin. especially when you know these were the good ones, the ones you saved to send to a "better" zine. may we all raise our glasses for piss poor taste.
got a haircut today. went into the barbershop i've gone to since i was a kid. the same guy who has cut my hair for over 30 years looked a bit shocked. i hadn't been in for almost a year. feels good to have the mop gone. and, i gave a little better tip than normal as well. it can't be easy running a barbershop in a town that's been dying for the past 20 years.
nice to see the Yankees sweep a shitty team for a change. big series this weekend against Oakland. hopefully the train can keep rolling. and hopefully Ichiro stays hot. he has turned back the clock. must be smelling the playoffs.
thankfully, i didn't change my pick last night in the Giants game. i almost did because of all the injuries. a rare moment where my guts didn't have shit for brains.
laughed my ass off last night at Wilfred and Louie. 2 of the best shows on TV.
hope everyone has a great weekend. if all my sports teams win, i will be flying high. happier than a dog with two pricks.

part 1 of this post is in response to a tweet the muse sent out last night that my ego insists is directed for me, which even if it's not, for the purposes of this entertainment, it is. the tweet goes as follows "Can you leave it all behind? Cause you can't go back."
my response is a heartbroken YES. sadly i can leave it all behind as being a fucking lapdog is not my specialty. my love and our friendship was once one of the most important things in my life. on most days, the most important. but if constantly being belittled, shit on and made to feel insignificant is what it takes to be your friend, i will gladly fall back into the arms of my mistress named loneliness. and seeing that i will honor your final words and this piece of shit won't call you again, i figured i would take this space to offer a few words.
i do hope for the best for you. i do hope you get what you want out of life. i do hope you figure a few things out along the way. and i do wish you the best of luck finding all the suckers in the world. and i hope for your sake, you figure those things out before they do.
now on to part 2
didn't catch much of the all star game last night. from what little i did see, i didn't miss much. i was more interested in Deadliest Catch. i figure most of the world found something better to do as well.
listened to episode #21 of The Sam Roberts Show Online this morning. entertaining as always. check it out at www.notsam.com. well worth your time.
not much in the mail or paper today, so the rest of my day will be spent readying my submissions for tomorrow. return envelopes, double check of poems, all that good shit. then, a nap where i yearn for rain. there is talk that we might get an inch of it over the weekend. i'm not holding my breath.
